Guide for getting + Merit

[cryptolord2077]

A guide for getting +Merit.

With the introduction of the new Merit system, many people have a question:
"And how do I raise my rank?"
This topic will provide you with an answer to the difficult question.

Here are the basic steps:

1. English language.
Learn and improve your English language, its spelling and grammar.
The Duolingo service will help you in this.
Also, try not to use such words as: Sir. & Mr., many do not like it.

2. Knowledge is power.
Plunge into the sea of ​​knowledge about crypto-currencies, keep abreast of the latest trends and updates.
Study popular topics on the forum and improve your knowledge and skills.
First of all, such topics as: Bitcoin Discussion, Development & Technical Discussion.
Also read all the topics that received the most amount of sMerit: Top-merited topics, all-time.
Read all the fixed topics in the English branch.
You should understand the meaning of such phrases as: Bitcoin Pizza Day (the original post Pizza for bitcoins?), 2011 bubble, Cyprus,
HODL (a little history of I AM HODLING) etc.
Also dont miss Bitcoin FAQ.

3. Write quality posts.
Become a quality poster. Remember that these are not necessarily long, boring posts.
It can be: qualitative answers or questions, themes created by you,
help other forum participants (for example TwitterAudit - Check your twitter for fakes - , then guys do a free audit, and some give merit),
you can create something that can be useful and something that will be appreciated (for example. Activity points calculator)
etc.

4. Be original and unique.
Do not repeat what has already been said. if necessary, add a link to the source in your post.

5. Catch fish in fishy places.
There are interesting topics, where for certain actions or answers give Merit.
Here are some of them:
A simple bitcoin Q/A. Learn new and interesting stuff about bitcoin - ask questions, you answer and earn Merit.
Merit System Upgrade;
Topic & Post Review - sMerit to give;
The Utmost Epic, Totally Tubular sMerit Giveaway;
Joel_Jantsen's Merit Distribution Thread (Newbies Welcome);
Bitcoin Forum Puzzle;

6. Give up the less for more.
Keep your participation in Bounties programs to a minimum. Initially, it can be hard financially, however, in time, raising the rank, you will earn much more. Believe me, it's worth it.

7. Purposefulness.
Set a goal, this motivates and will help to go in front. Make a plan and act.
At the same time, Merit is not the goal itself, the priority is to create quality content that will become a source of merit.
(bitmover set the goal to get 100 Merit before the activity is 120 and easily reached its goal: 101 merit and 84 activity!)

8. Activity in business will lead you to success.
Taking an active part in the life of the forum and helping it develop, you will easily raise your rank, and most importantly get knowledge that will bring you pleasure and material prosperity.

Thanks a lot

I do not know, but I asked the author original question. If he answers I translate and duplicate his answer here. I'm interested too.

[xx_gReyz_xx]

I found this very helpful and if I only have a merit, I will also give it to this topic. It was properly explained and the ideas are very accurate. I am pretty sure that every newbies including me who wanted to get merit will be happy about this. Thank you for sharing these information sir and I hope that this will be read to each newbies and every each of us here in this forum.

[toodamntired]

Great post OP. very informative and helpful, to say the least. it should be required reading for all new members. In fact, even for older members too. The only thing that i would add is that if you are really into Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, in general, then just cruise the site. Ask questions, reply to posts and in no time at all, your rank will increase and with it will come merit.

OP, here is a couple merit points for you....

4. Be original and unique.
Do not repeat what has already been said. if necessary, add a link to the source in your post.

No need to put ( if ). It's always necessary to add the link of the source in the posts or else it will be called plagiarism as we all know. By the way this is what I like the most being original and unique in terms of posting. When posting it is important to check your post before posting if there's any mistyped words or mistakes, why? Users might find it hard to understand your point or topic you made.

[vy99]

I would also add, don't post for the sake of posting. I know you want to get your post count and activity up but don't sacrifice quality for quantity.

This should be a sticky at the top for all new members to read and learn from

[Shafo]

This is very helpful for our newbie. To be honest, merit is very unfriendly to newbie. I just read the rank rules of the forum. I think that for a newcomer like me, I want to get 10 merits and then become Member takes a lot of time and may take more than 2 years.

You should be able to become a Member in a couple months, and getting 10 merits is possible if you post quality content.

How could you say that? You literally just have one post in the forum and your conclusion is "merit is unfriendly to newbie". I don't think you will last long in the forum expecting that ranking up will be easy here. Spammers and low quality posters have pushed the forum admins to create the merit system we have now and we all have to suffer the consequences, our rank is not associated with receiving more merits, it doesn't mean if we are Sr. Members and above we automatically are the favorites to receive merits, all of us must earn it and no matter what our rank is all of us must compose a well thought message that has no grammatical errors in it if we want to increase our chances of receiving even just one merit.

It would be great if for registration at the forum it was necessary to answer a number of questions about the rules or take a test. This would increase the number of good posts on the forum.

[vagrom]

Awesome post that tells newcomers how to get Merit.
However, as some people have said above, in fact, responding to other people's problems or helping others should also get Merit. Only then will the BCT website gather more people.

No need in any entry tests or other restrictions applied on forum registration while the crypto hype is blowing off. Otherwise, this forum will lose its popularity.

However, as some people have said above, in fact, responding to other people's problems or helping others should also get Merit. Only then will the BCT website gather more people.

The forum has no problem attracting more people. The problem is attracting people who want to contribute to the forum. To many individuals show up and just want to rank up so they can monetize their time here.

Do not make merit the goal, and you should do fine. Following  #2,3,4 are your best options to becoming a quality member. For #1 learning another language and becoming proficient are admirable goals, but you can also do fine posting in your local boards.

Thank you for the time you took by putting together this advice! I found it really helpful!

It's my pleasure. Glad I could help. Together we can make the forum better.

<...>For #1 learning another language and becoming proficient are admirable goals, but you can also do fine posting in your local boards.

Up to a certain degree... For example, on my local Spanish board, I consider it is not too dificult to get merited, but the expectancy there is to be merited by one person and one merit per merited post.
Today I wanted to incentivate my local board by publishing a list with the 22 people that had ranked-up at some point needing merits to do so, having been merited on the Spanish local board at some point.

I tried to see the positive side to it, being that people are ranking-up there. Nevertheless, the negative aspects are pretty clear too: 22 people is a measly figure. Of those, only 5 have received all their merit on the Spanish local board. The remaining 17 post on the regular English boards, and if you want to go above the Member rank, this board emigration process is nearly a must in order to do it at a decent pace (see the list on re:El tema de los meritos).
